Subject: pico editing: return doesn't give a new line

I'm running NCSA Telnet 2.6 on a Mac. When editing pine messages or pico
files, hitting return seems to be interpreted as a "justify" command. 

I've tried switching the session configuration to Berkeley BSD mode and
tried changing my terminal emulation from VT200 to VT100. I also tried
changing my "translation" from "none" to US ASCII to no avail. None of
these strategies seem to solve the problem. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Otherwise I'm stuck with "vi" - not
my favorite editor to teach novice users.

Does it also happen with version 2.7b5 ?
Look for ncsatelnet2.7b5.sit.hqx.gz on Umich mirrors!

Try VIM then!  Unlimited undo, split windows, visual selection,
command and search histort, command line editing, and lots more!
Both available for UNIX, Macintosh, etc (see sig)
